How to make thick curd
Ingredients
Milk - 1/2 litre(I use Aavin blue packet,fat free-You can use full cream milk too)
Curd - 1 tbsp(If you don't have home made curd,you can use Amul/Nestle dahi)
Method
Boil milk without adding water.
Let it cool a bit.
When it is slightly warm,add 1 tbsp curd and mix well.
Close the lid and keep aside for 10-12 hours(preferably overnight).
Use the same pan in which you boiled the milk for setting the curd,this makes the process faster.
Thick and yummy curd is ready!!
Benefits of Curd-Dahi
When milk ferments into curd,40% of the lactose becomes lactic acid,which is easier to digest.Further,100 gms of curd contain 49 gms extra calcium as compared to the same portion of milk.Recent studies also show that Vitamin B complex is an important nutrient for the female reproductive glands and since dahi is rich in these Vitamins-It is highly recommended for women.
